resistor simulates 17.6 watts and a 10 ohm resistor simulates
14.4 watts. The resistors are available partly pre-wired, so they are
very easy to install. An incorrect connection is no longer possible.
The special flasher unit (optional) with the art. no. 10033844
(operating range of 1 to 30 W) for LED turn signals can only be
used if the vehicle is equipped with two turn signal indicator lights.
If, on the other hand, there is a single turn signal indicator light for
the right and left turn signal circuits, or if a hazard warning flasher
or an audible turn signal indicator is fitted, malfunctions may
occur – in this case, resistors should be used.
On vehicles with CAN bus or bulb indicator light, there is a
chance of error messages as a result of the conversion of
the original brake and rear light. Resistors can also be used
to remedy this situation. The required resistor can be determined
as in the aforementioned example.
CAUTION!
Risk of accident!
• Please keep in mind that when electronic flasher
relays are used, the failure of a turn signal is
no longer indicated by the indicator light, which
could put you at risk of an accident.
• You should therefore test your turn signals
before every journey.

6 | Storage
Prior to installation, store the turn signal in a closed room that
is protected against the weather and moisture. The air humidity
should not exceed 80 %.
7 | Cleaning and care
Use warm soapy water or a motorcycle cleaner and a soft cloth
to clean the turn signals. Do not use a harsh cleaner which could
damage plastic or aluminium, and do not use a pressure washer,
as this can damage seals and drive water into the turn signal. After
cleaning, use a wax-based product which will protect the surface
from the elements.
